Is there a way to beat the casino’s house odds when you play Bingo. Some gambling experts maintain that even though Bingo is a game of pure chance that there are ways to use strategy to increase your chances at winning.

The most obvious way to be strategic when you play Bingo is to play as many cards as you can. The more cards you are dabbing, the more chances you have of winning. However in online casinos you might find that you might not be able to play as many cards as you want.  In fact in some cases, both real and online casinos will simply make the rule that everyone must play the same number of cards at every game. This makes it more difficult for one player to have an advantage over other. This practice is very common in churches who do not really smile on one player winning because they had more money than the others to buy a lot of cards at once.

There is a very complex system based on predictability that is sometimes used by Bingo players to predict the outcome of the numbers. It is kind of similar to card counting in games of Blackjack that are played with a single deck and requires a little bit of knowledge about mathematical probability.

Usually bingo is played with only 75 balls. The mathematical likelihood of any number coming up is 1 in 75, so the random factor has what is called uniform distribution. Some statisticians maintain that when it comes to Bingo the balls will fall in a uniform pattern as governed by the laws of probability. In the case of Bingo it means that there will be an equal number of odd and even numbers called and an equal number of high and low numbers. It is also likely that an equal number of numbers ending in 1’s, 2's, 3's, 4’s and so on will also be called.  Obviously this means that if you can stay in the game long enough, sooner or later your number is going to come up. This has lead some Bingo theorists to speculate that winning at Bingo has more to do with longevity then it does blowing all of your money on a lot of cards for a single play. If this is the case you might want to consider buying fewer cards and staying in the game longer.  Of course if you are playing online bingo for free this is not going to be necessary because you don’t pay for the cards usually.

Another strategy has to do with a complex theory about randomness that was invented by British statistician L. H. C. Tippett. Tippett’s theory was that the more bingo numbers that are called the more likely the numbers called are going to be to the median number which is 38.  So if you are playing a short game and can select your cards then you are best to choose numbers closer to 1 and 78. However if you are playing a game that is longer then choose cards with numbers that are closer to 38.
